FORMER COURIER AND PRESS EDITOR PRODUCES PLAY FOR THE 2019 INDYFRINGE FESTIVAL
Garret Mathews Produces Play For The 2019 IndyFringe Festival
Name 10 kids in your first-grade class. Think back to each place you’ve lived. What were the telephone prefixes? What were the zip codes? Was there a 12 o’clock whistle? When was trash day? What was the first record album you bought with your own money? In high school, what was the most popular teen hangout?
These and other long-term memory challenges are explored in comedic fashion in “Is Your Brain Still Cooking†that’s part of the 2019 IndyFringe Festival.
Written by Carmel resident Garret Mathews (www.pluggerpublishing.com), the setting for “Is Your Brain Still Cooking†is a fast-paced quiz show in which contestants try to recall events from their distant past. Among questions that are posed: Growing up, who were some of the folks on your telephone party line? When was the first time your name appeared in the newspaper? Who were your first sports heroes? In high school, who were your homeroom teachers? What do you remember about the first really good vacation you took with your parents?
The play features Jim Banta, Dan Flahive, Case Jacobus, and MaryAnne Mathews.
“Is Your Brain Still Cooking†plays at the District Theatre Cabaret on 627 Mass Ave in Indianapolis. Showtimes are Friday, Aug. 16 – 10:30 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 17 – 9 p.m.; Tuesday, Aug. 20 – 6 p.m.; Wednesday, Aug. 21 – 9 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 24 – 3 p.m.; Sunday, Aug. 25 – 3 p.m.
Thank you. Garret Mathews garretmath@gmail.com

Indiana Grown Promotes Farm Products Across The State
Indiana Grown Promotes Farm Products Across The State
By Lacey Watt
TheStatehouseFile.com
INDIANAPOLIS—Heather Tallman has had a passion for locally-grown food since she began publishing her own blog more than a decade ago.
She brings that same passion as the newest program director of Indiana Grown, the state Department of Agriculture’s program to promote products and other farm products within the state.
Indiana Grown was created by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture after the demand for locally-made products began growing. Since the creation of Indiana Grown, more than 1,100 members and more than 50 business partners have joined the program.
Tallman, who has worked with Indiana Grown since its launch in 2015, got her start with a blog. Basilmomma was launched in 2007 and featured posts about her family, traveling, food creations she made along the way and the story on why she would make them.
What started off as her own project eventually became a column every Sunday in the Daily Journal in Franklin.
“It was really great,†Tallman said, who no longer has the column but still blogs occasionally. “A lot of hard work. I’m not a chef, I’m just a regular adult.â€
With her new role at Indiana Grown, Tallman oversees staff and the overall direction of the initiative. She also serves as liaison and spokesperson for Indiana Grown, working with the agriculture industry and other partners.
One project that Indiana Grown will be launching in late August or early September is Indiana Grown’s Farms to Schools Buyer Guide, which provides information to schools that want to start buying produce and products locally but may not be sure where to start.
Indiana Grown also has a presence at the Indiana State Fair, which runs through Aug. 18 in the agriculture building. This will be the third year of the Indiana Grown Market, a store that will have more than 500 different Indiana grown products and about 100 members attending.
“It’s been exciting to watch the growth of Indiana Grown, since its launch in 2015, expand into a member in every county of the state,†Tallman said. “I’m looking forward to growing our future with the team.â€
Indiana Grown has gained more than 1,100 members in just three years and helps many local businesses promote products at places such as the Near North Farmers Market, located at Herron-Morton Place Park.
Near North Farmers Market has been running since 2018 and has been a member of Indiana Grown since its founding by a group of neighbors in the Herron-Morton area. Vendors sell a variety of items every Saturday in June through September from 9 a.m. to noon.
These items include produce from CUE Farm at Butler, and produce meat, and eggs from Indy’s Food Co-op. There are also vendors that carry wine from Owen Valley Winery, and one vendor called INdulge Indy has croissants and baked goods. Outside of food, there are also products from Body Eclectic, bouquets from White Clover Designs, and others.
“We love supporting the creative and hard-working folks closest to us, and Indiana Grown is a great window into that world,†Elle Roberts, market manager for Near North Farmers Market, said.
MarketWagon, also an Indiana Grown member, allows local food producers to thrive in their local and regional markets. It is an online farmers market founded in 2017 where consumers can go online to buy products and have it delivered to their home for no extra fee or subscription. Seven markets located in different parts of Indiana and Ohio allow better access to consumers.
“We wanted to create a platform that extended the abilities for farmers to get their products into consumers hands,†Nick Carter, co-founder, and CEO of MarketWagon said.
One location to find different types of vendors is at Indianapolis City Market. Vendors like Indiana Grown member Arnold Farms set up stands outside the City-County Building and along the street to feature produce and other goods.
Emma Hawk, along with her husband and brother, currently run the farm that has been in the family since 1820, and love being a part of it.
Indiana Grown members have their information on a map, which allows anyone accessing the website to be able to see where they are located, and what they have to offer to the public.
“It is a great way to meet like-minded folks as well as a label people in Indiana love to see on their products,†Roberts said. “I urge anyone to go out and meet someone on your street you didn’t know before. Maybe share a bottle of wine or a tasty treat from the market with them.â€

Otters’ Offense Sinks Wild Things Early
Otters’ Offense Sinks Wild Things Early
WASHINGTON, Pa. – The Evansville Otters brought their explosive offense to the ballpark Sunday, sinking the Washington Wild Things 9-2 in the series finale.
 The Otters and Elijah MacNamee got things started in the top of the first inning.  After a Ryan Long single with two outs, MacNamee ripped a two-run home run to left field, his first professional homer, to give the Otters an early 2-0 lead.Washington’s Hector Roa cut the Otters’ lead in half in the bottom of the first on an RBI single, making the score 2-1.
MacNamee would cash in two more RBIs in the third on a triple, scoring David Cronin and Keith Grieshaber, to push the Otters ahead 4-1 through three.
Washington starter AJ Bogucki would pitch four innings, allowing seven runs on seven hits. He would be given the loss, dropping his record to 2-4.
The Otters would score four runs in the top of the fifth, sending eight men to the plate. Cronin led off with a walk, Grieshaber singled, and Long smacked a two-RBI double, extending the Otters’ lead to 6-1.
J.J. Gould followed later in the inning with a two-RBI single, scoring Long and Jack Meggs, to increase the Otters’ lead to 8-1 and break the game open after five innings. That was plenty of run support for the newly signed Otters’ starting pitcher Matt Burleton, making his professional debut with Evansville.
From the second to the fourth inning, Burleton retired nine consecutive batters but would run into a jam in the fifth With runners on first and second and one out, Meggs at first helped start a 3-6-3 double play to end the threat.
Roa hit another RBI single in the sixth, driving in all the Wild Things’ runs in the originally scheduled games for this weekend.
Burleton pitched a scoreless seventh inning before turning the baseball over to the Otters’ bullpen in Abraham Almonte and Michael Gizzi, who tossed scoreless innings. The left-hander earned his first win in his professional debut, throwing seven strong innings while allowing two runs – one earned – on six hits. He did not record a strikeout but did a solid job pitching to the Otters’ defense.
Cronin added an RBI double in the eighth, giving the Otters nine runs on 11 hits.
MacNamee was a double shy of the cycle, going 3-5 with a home run, triple, and a single while recording four RBIs. He would have multiple hits along with Long, Gould and Grieshaber.
The combination of Cronin, Grieshaber, Long, Gould, and MacNamee would have nine RBIs, ten hits, and seven runs scored.
The Otters return home to Bosse Field for a six-game homestand, starting on Tuesday at 6:35 p.m. for three games against the River City Rascals.
Broadcast coverage can be found on the radio at 91.5 WUEV-FM or streamed on the Otters Digital Network via YouTube with Dave Nguyen (play-by-play) and Bill McKeon (analyst) on the call.
